Mercury Falling

CD Details

Mercury Falling is Sting’s 1996 solo rock album that continues his exploration of blending world rhythms and diverse musical influences with rock, jazz, and pop foundations. Following the success of his 1993 album Ten Summoner’s Tales, this ten-song collection moves away from the preachy politics of his earliest solo work to focus on personal, everyday experiences and emotions. The album draws from an eclectic range of styles including Celtic arrangements, country, R&B, and jazz, creating a sound that is both lean and aggressive while remaining melodic and accessible.

This CD features tracks including “The Hounds Of Winter,” “I Hung My Head,” “Let Your Soul Be Your Pilot,” “I Was Brought To My Senses,” “You Still Touch Me,” “I’m So Happy I Can’t Stop Crying,” “All Four Seasons,” “La Belle Dame Sans Regrets,” and “Valparaiso.” The album showcases Sting’s distinctive approach to songwriting, with rhythmic foundations that give the music its distinctive character and emotional clarity.
